Point, Set, Match and...Major Clog?
The world's oldest tennis tournament has once again come to an end. After two weeks of competition at Wimbledon the 2014 men's title went to Djokovic and the women's title went to Kvitová. It's an Eastern European party! In British Leicestershire people weren't too happy with how things were going it seems. Maybe that's why during the tournament hundreds of tennis balls were flushed into the drains around London! That must have been quite a job, because tennis balls float...you can't flush them that easily. Someone was clearly on a mission!
Engineers from Severn Trent Water were called the morning after the semi-final; the street was under water and the sewer was flooding due to an unknown blockage. That set the ball rolling, and it was soon discovered that hundreds of tennis balls were causing the trouble! "We are used to finding strange things blocking the sewer" said Severn Trent Water; "fat, nappies, leftovers, we've seen it all, but we've never experienced something like this before." Experts are still puzzled as to how or why anyone managed to flush so many tennis balls.
In the meantime all the tennis balls have been removed and the sewer function restored. The incident makes us fully aware of the importance of a good working sewer and of good maintenance. It is simply a necessity, but one we don't consider it day to day. We all use the sewers daily, but we're only truly aware of these issues when our sewers don't do their job. When sewers get blocked, roads flood and a smelly gunk spreads in the streets. That's when the sewer really gets our full attention!
Don't flush things down the drain that don't belong there: nappies, baby wipes, cooking oil or leftover paint simply do not belong in the sewer. Neither do medicines and other chemical substances. All this waste causes sewer blockage and unnecessary pollution of the groundwater, which is a danger and causes damage that can easily be prevented.

Toussaint Demont (Brussel, 1 april 1865) was een Belgisch fluitist, die solo-fluitist was bij het Concertgebouworkest.

Hij was zoon van lithograaf Nicoals Demont en Catherine Desmedt. Hijzelf was getrouwd met Jeanne Cathérine Demol (De Mol).

Hij verkreeg zijn opleiding aan het Brussels conservatorium waar zijn docent M.J. Dumont was. Hij verkreeg in 1886 aan het eind van zijn studie een eerste prijs. Al tijdens zijn studie maakte hij deel uit van het orkest van de Koninklijke Muntschouwburg in Brussel; hij zou er acht jaar spelen, om dat orkest in 1891 te verlaten voor het Concertgebouworkest in Amsterdam. Hij nam de plaats over van Johan Francis Arnold Theodor Dahmen. Tussen 1891 en 1901 zou hij 27 keer bij het Concertgebouworkest soleren, meest onder leiding van Willem Kes en Willem Mengelberg. Zijn lievelingswerk was daarbij het Concert voor fluit en harp in C majeur (KV299) van Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Hij was tussen 1898 en 1904 docent fluit aan het Haags conservatorium.Gedurende die periode trad hij als solist op in Nederland, België en Frankrijk.

In 1899 vertrok hij weer naar Brussel, alhoewel hij dus nog les bleef geven in Den Haag. A. Best en Robert van den Kerkhoven werden zijn opvolger bij het Concertgebouworkest.

Leerling John Amans (solo-fluitist bij het Residentieorkest) droeg zijn Caprice für Flöte mit Quintett-Begleitung uit 1908 aan hem op.

In 1913 vroeg De Telegraaf nog om zijn mening inzake het Concertgebouworkest dat toen 25 jaar bestond.  Daarna ontbreekt elke spoor.

Zijn geluid is bewaard gebleven via obscure plaatopnamen van Chant d'alouette en L'echo des bois (10-inch plaatjes) van respectievelijk Flute en Piccolo Records.

Europe's Rosetta Spacecraft Makes Historic Arrival at Comet
By Miriam Kramer 06 August 2014
ESA's Rosetta probe snapped this image of its target, Comet 67P on Aug. 3, 2014 from a distance of 177 miles (285 kilometers).

After a decade in space and 4 billion miles, Europe's Rosetta spacecraft has made history: For the first time ever, a robotic probe from Earth is flying with a comet and will soon enter orbit.
The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft arrived at its target, Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, today (Aug. 6) to end a 10-year journey across the solar system. The spacecraft performed an engine burn that brought it about 62 miles (100 kilometers) from the comet's surface.

Comet 67P/C-G and Rosetta are now flying about 251 million miles (450 million kilometers) from Earth. Engineers on the ground had to program the probe to go through a series of complicated burns and maneuvers to make the spacecraft's rendezvous with the comet a possibility. [Photos: Europe's Rosetta Comet Mission in Pictures]
"This is the end of 10 years of interplanetary flight," Rosetta Flight Director Andrea Accomazzo said during ESA's live comet rendezvous webcast Wednesday.
Applause broke out in Rosetta's mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, where a crowd of ESA dignitaries and officials had gathered to watch the historic event.
"We're at the comet! Yes!" exclaimed Sylvain Lodiot, Rosetta's spacecraft operations manager, once the probe's successful arrival at Comet 67P/C-G was confirmed.
Now, Rosetta controllers will scope out different spots on the comet, to find a good place to land the Philae lander, a small spacecraft that is expected to touch down on the surface of the comet this November. Philae will drop to the comet's surface and make measurements of the cosmic body's physical properties.
From Earth to a comet
The two-part Rosetta spacecraft is designed to orbit and land on the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. See how the Rosetta spacecraft works in this Space.com infographic. (Image credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics Artist)
The $1.7 billion (1.3 billion euros) Rosetta comet mission launched in March 2004 to begin its history-making journey to Comet 67P/C-G. The spacecraft was originally slated to launch a year earlier and visit a different target, the Comet 46P/Wirtanen, but the mission was delayed and its destination changed following an unrelated rocket failure. [Best Comet Encounters in History]
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was discovered in 1969 by Ukrainian astronomers Klim Churyumov and Svetlana Gerasimenko. It circles the sun once every 6.5 years, and the comet's farthest point in orbit takes it beyond Jupiter.

The spacecraft is named after the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian tablet vital to the translation of hieroglyphics. The Philae lander is named after an obelisk discovered on an island in the Nile River. Rosetta mission scientists hope that the orbiter and lander unlock secrets of the history of comets, and the solar system, just as their namesakes helped scientists decipher Egyptian writing.
Rosetta made several loops of Earth and Mars to help the probe gain speed and move past Jupiter's orbit. After getting past the gas giant and making a close flyby of two asteroids — Steins and Lutetia — Rosetta was put into a deep slumber in 2011 for nearly three years. It awoke from hibernation mode in January 2014 to the delight of nervous ESA mission scientists.
Paolo Ferri, head of ESA's mission operations, said during a live webcast Wednesday that compared to January's awakening from hibernation, Rosetta's arrival at Comet 67P/C-G was much less tense. The reason? Spacecraft controllers have known for months that Rosetta and Philae are in good health, as opposed to January, when the probe had been sleeping for years.
Comet surprises by Rosetta

The Rosetta spacecraft has captured remarkable views of the comet on its way into orbit. Images of the comet revealed that Comet 67P/C-G is actually two connected pieces hurtling through space together. The smaller "head" and larger "body" of the comet are connected by a bright "neck," as seen in photos of the comet taken by Rosetta.
"The only thing we know for sure at this point is that this neck region appear brighter compared to the head and body of the nucleus," Holger Sierks, of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, said in a statement.
Rosetta has already collected enough data about the comet for scientists to know that the surface of Comet 67P is actually too warm to be ice-covered. Instead, ESA scientists think that the comet only has splotches of ice intermixed with a dusty crust.
Rosetta is expected to stay in orbit around Comet 67P/C-G until the end of 2015.
"We're going to going to ride along with this comet. We're going to have a ringside seat," Matt Taylor, ESA Rosetta project scientist, said Wednesday as the spacecraft arrived at Comet 67P/C-G. "It's going to be an awesome ride. Stay tuned."

It has been announced that the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche, plans to cut 6 per cent of their global workforce over the next 2 years. The pharmaceutical job cuts come in an effort by the pharma company to make annual costs savings totalling 2.4 billion Swiss Francs.
The majority of the job cuts will hit the company's pharmaceutical division and will ultimately lead to restructuring costs of approximately 2.7 billion. In addition, the sales and marketing workforce will be slashed by a total of 2650 positions, whilst several manufacturing sites in the US and Germany will be reorganised.
The development of preclinical research programmes will also be discontinued including that of cancer. However, the company will remain in its current therapeutic areas.

Q: Using VBA from Access 2007 to search in AutoCAD (dwg) files I have hundreds of DWG, AutoCAD files that I would like search and catalog into an MS Access Database.
Basically, I would like to search the DWG's and extract whatever description is in the Title box as well as the Date and bring everything over to Access making it a searchable catalog.
For example, I have a file name T-25682.DWG, which is titled Machine Spacer and created 01/20/2010.
I would extract that info form the DWG file and insert it into the Access database as such:
== ID ==    == DESCRIPTION ==    == CREATED ON ==    == FILENAME ==

    1       Machine Spacer       01/20/2010          T-25682.dwg

How can I approach and solve this problem? Is there an AutoCAD library I can use with Access? How can I search in a DWG file?

A: I would avoid VBA altogether, AutoLISP can do the job for with far less pain. Here's how:
Create the "data extraction and writing to Access" functionality inside an AutoLISP file. The freely available ADOLisp library will make it a breeze writing to Access, if that fails, or you aren't able to do it you can always just write to a csv file...
Once you're able to do that for a single dwg file, create a script (using anything that can copy and open files, AutoLisp works too) to do the following:

*

*Copy that lisp file into a directory where your dwg files are, naming the file as acaddoc.lsp.

*Sequentially open every dwg in the directory. Upon opening, acaddoc.lsp will run and do its stuff.

*Delete acaddoc.lsp from that directory (else it will run every time you open a dwg in there).

*Repeat for every directory you have dwg files in which you wish to catalog.

Notes:

*

*Make sure that acaddoc.lsp closes the drawing when its done (or makes AutoCAD quit, depending on how you're opening the files).

*For this to work, your title blocks need to be reliable, make sure you add some error checking. You can use the script to log any issues to a text file as they find them...

AutoLisp is really really easy, for help with learning go to AutoLISP Beginners' Tutorials.
For the best place to ask questions and search for code snippets from previous answered questions, see Visual LISP, AutoLISP and General Customization.

A: If you have a full version of AutoCAD you can try the Data Extraction Wizard. This works quite well for attributed blocks. If this is no good, the best places to try are the Swamp or the AutoCAD forums or AUGI.
VBA is deprecated in the last 3 versions of AutoCAD in favour of the .NET API, FYI
+edit+
Have a look at this (free) chapter on AutoCAD external database connectivity.

Glenn Beck: Joe Klein destroyed by Bill O'Reilly
Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com
Joe Klein destroyed by Bill O'Reilly
GLENN: I want to play from Bill O'Reilly last night Joe Klein from Time magazine.
KLEIN: But I think that your pal Glenn Beck is peddling a lot of hateful crap.
O'REILLY: But he is doing it in a funny way. What's hateful about it?
KLEIN: I thought the part where he describe the president as intentionally steering the airplane of state into the ground.
PAT: At least, but at least he got the analogy that it wasn't an actual airplane and he wasn't trying to actually kill people.
STU: Right. He didn't realize it wasn't the, what was it, the of state? It was about the economy.
PAT: Right, it was.
GLENN: Isn't it interesting, isn't it interesting that Arianna Huffington and Joe Klein in the same weekend.
PAT: Both.
GLENN: Used the same analogy.
PAT: So weird.
GLENN: That's been out that piece has been out for, what, months?
PAT: Long time.
GLENN: Months.
PAT: May I also point out that's not hate!
GLENN: That's opinion.
PAT: It's an opinion!
GLENN: Right.
PAT: There's nothing hateful about it!
STU: That's a good point. They just put hate next to anything that anyone on the right size, yeah.
PAT: If you disagree with him, you hate him.
STU: It's a hate of opinion.
PAT: Stupid!
GLENN: Let me tell you something one of my favorite websites is Mediaite and there are times they take me down hard, they don't like me at all.
PAT: They have, yeah.
GLENN: They have taken me down hard. But there are other times that they defend and it's not because they are fans or not fans. It's because that's the way they see it and they are not just ideologues. Listen to this: Bill O'Reilly debates Joe Klein on the Glenn Beck phenomenon. Bill O'Reilly started this week not only by taking on Republican critics to President Obama but also factoring in some liberal guests into the fold. One of those, Joe Klein from Time magazine, has recently had a back and forth with Glenn Beck and O'Reilly took the chance to offer a defense of sorts to his colleague. Klein wrote an column recently criticizing Fox News and really stupid Americans. That got a 15 minute epic takedown from Beck last week.
I love the article they wrote last week on the epic takedown. They said, you want to know why Beck is successful? Watch this, the best 15 minutes you've ever seen.
After discussing several issues with Klein, O'Reilly brought out Klein's FNC criticism going back to last year as well. You don't like Fox News much, says O'Reilly. Klein says he respects Major Garrett and even O'Reilly, those are good guys, I think you are a good guy. We come from the same neck of the woods, said Klein but surprise, surprise, your pal Glenn Beck is peddling a lot of hateful crap. Klein said sarcastically the stuff about Obama not being an American citizen, that was hysterical.
Now listen to this. Go ahead and play what else Klein said.
KLEIN: It's hilarious and the stuff about Obama not being a
O'REILLY: He's got a phone to the White House. Look, he is every man sitting on a barstool. Why shouldn't he have a show?
KLEIN: No, no, no, he is Father Coughlin.
[ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ]
PAT: Father Coughlin.
GLENN: Father Coughlin
PAT: The socialist.
STU: What is it? Coughlin or Conklin? Conklin or something? It's not Coughlin, is it? That's how it's written but that's not how it's pronounced.
GLENN: I don't care how it's pronounced. The only ones that know this reference are the people at MSNBC and the Huffington Post and Media Matters. They are the only ones, and they get it wrong every time. The guy was a socialist. The guy was I mean, look him up on SSI.gov. If you look at Social Security, he's there.
PAT: He started out a huge fan of FDR.
PAT: And the reason that he turned on FDR and became so vehemently opposed to him
GLENN: Because he didn't go close enough! That's me.
PAT: Oh, that's a perfect comparison to you.
GLENN: That's me.
PAT: Perfect.
GLENN: The reason why he says he's Father Coughlin is twofold. One, Father Coughlin was a populist. I'm not a populist.
STU: I don't think so. People have leveled that claim against you for a long time.
GLENN: Not a populist. What I happen to say is popular now. I happen to believe in the little man, but that's not a populist stance that I need the big government. Populist stance combines the big government with it. I don't want the big government protecting.
STU: Right. And you've been criticized for
GLENN: Leave me alone.
STU: Right. You've been criticized for being a big friend to the evil elite rich people forever and then all of a sudden now you are a populist. I don't know how that happens.
GLENN: All right. So and that's what's happening is now the progressives are going to take this. Which is what they are really in many ways, they are Father Coughlin. That's who they are. They are a bunch of Marxists that want redistribution of wealth. They don't think Obama has even gone far enough. And also, by the way, the reason why they compare me to Father Coughlin is because in the end he was supporting the Germans against the Jews.
STU: Right.
GLENN: So
STU: Blah blah Nazi, blah blah.
GLENN: And I just want to point out I'm so much alike that Benjamin Netanyahu told me that I will be remembered as a friend to humanity for what I have done and said about Israel and Iran.
PAT: Okay, dusty Rhodes!
STU: Your reference!
GLENN: So here's what Joe Klein, you know, he continues on and Bill O'Reilly, you know, just leaves it as the joke that it is. But let me read what Mediaite says: First of all, Beck is so far from a Birther, it's absurd for Klein to even cite in his argument. It proves he doesn't even actually watch or listen to Glenn Beck.
STU: Great.
GLENN: See article, Glenn Beck thinks Birthers are dumb. Glenn Beck is a lot of things. He thinks a large portion of the Obama administration are Mao loving progressive radicals intent on forcing the social is regime change.
PAT: Only because they said so.
GLENN: Yeah.
PAT: Other than that.
GLENN: But he's not that. Also on O'Reilly's defense that Beck is every mayonnaise is disingenuous as well, Glenn Beck, his appeal is that he's doing things that no one else can do. Maybe the every man can identify with what Beck is saying but Beck is the guy leading the charge quite literally in some cases. There's a hyperlink to that. I've got to see what that is. And that makes him uniquely loved and hated. Besides, Klein, who led the show as guest number one, San Francisco Gavin Newsom made his Factor debut last night, blah, blah blah, blah blah.
PAT: So Klein started out the show by accusing Fox News of lying. Then in his dissertation on you, comes up
STU: And he only came up with two things, one of which was a complete lie, the other was saying an analogy that was incorrect. I mean, he didn't come up with one accurate thing. How did he come up with what?
GLENN: But he only had a week to respond to the epic takedown of Time magazine. Remember when Time magazine used to have credibility? I know, I know, it was
PAT: When was that?
GLENN: It was before they put me on the cover.


One of the more daunting things for people just getting into tabletop wargaming is where to start. There are countless systems to choose from, many scales, different levels of complexity and hundreds of thousands of products to choose from. Shopping online or walking into a local hobby store, the newcomer can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of "stuff" that's out there in the hobby.
Here's a few pointers on how to get yourself (or your kids) started.
1.) Try a game first. If you have an opportunity to try a game before buying, that's the best (and cheapest) first step. Spending a few hours with a local gaming club, visiting a gaming convention or playing at a nearby hobby shop will give you a broad overview of how complex and fun a game can be. It's also good to speak with other players so they can relate their personal experience in what they do (or don't) about particular games, and what kind of a time and money commitment you may be making by undertaking a new game.
2.) Pick a theme. There is a tremendous variety in the playable world of gaming. If your kids like comic book superheroes or sci-fi space battles, there are games for those. If you like reading about history and are interested in playing a particular historic era, chances are there's a game for it. If you have tendencies toward swords, sorcery and fantasy monsters, there are plenty of options. And, for those of you into horror and zombies, there are definitely games to suit your taste for the macabre.
3.) Visit a local store. It's great to support local businesses, and getting to know the folks at your local hobby store, comic book shop or specialized wargaming outlet is key to your intro and growth with a game. People at these stores are usually gamers themselves, and they know and love this stuff. Be honest with them when just starting out. Explain your level of previous experience, interests, budget and the amount of free time available to play games. If you are looking to play a World War II game for a couple hours a week and have a budget of $50, they'll probably steer toward the great board or card games available. If you have hours of free time and are willing to invest hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in a World War II game over the long term, a good store employee will point you in a different direction.
4.) Get a starter set. One of the great things about wargaming is the wide array of products the industry churns out. Settling on just one gaming system can present a new player with thousands of options. Experienced gamers usually go the a la carte route, picking and choosing the specific miniatures, models and rulesets they want. As a new gamer, however, what you usually need to get started is some miniatures and rules.
Thankfully, many popular wargaming systems offer packaged starter sets. These usually contain a set of rules, dice, maps and enough miniatures to wage a small game right out of the box. The other bonus with starer sets is the costs savings, as many companies package there starter sets with contents that might be double the cost if bought separately.
Here's a couple of my favorite starter sets, covering a couple different scales and eras. If you're looking a for a great wargaming gift this holiday season, start here.
Flames of War: Open Fire!
If you're interested in World War II, start here. For about $70, this incredible set gives a player a 50-page quick-start guide, a full 300-page rulebook, dice, nearly 120 soldiers, eleven tanks and lots of other goodies. The set encourages you to glue up the miniatures and models and start right in playing. Once you've got a game or two under your belt, you can get started painting and then head back to the shop to start building out your forces for even bigger games.
Millions of people are going to be marching into movie theaters this month to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. If your interest in things Tolkienesque goes beyond the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books and movies, then Games Workshop's line of games should be your next stop. To coincide with the new movie, a whole new line of miniatures, rules and this incredible limited starter set has been introduced. The set costs $125, but with that you get all the hero characters (Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Wizard and Thorin Oakenshield and his band of dwarves) and dozens of goblins. The set includes a 50-page rule book plus some terrain models, dice and a ruler. Everything is plastic and modelled with incredible detail and personality. When painted, the models really come to life on the table. There's also a full line of Hobbit-themed (and previously-produced Lord of The Rings) miniatures and rules ready to be added to your future games.
Games Workshop also offers two long-standing favorites in the miniatures gaming world: Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 (or, 40K to fans). Each gaming system offers a starter set for $99 that comes packed with incredibly detailed miniatures, rule books, starter guides, dice and other gaming accessories.
Warhammer is set in a fantasy world of magic and monsters, The Island of Blood starter sets allows you to field an army of High Elves against the Skaven, a race of giant rats. The 74 models exclusive to this box include Elves on horseback, an Elven prince riding a giant griffon, Skaven ogres and a whimsical cannon strapped to the back of a giant rat.
Warhammer 40K inhabits a universe in a far off future plagued by armies in endless intergalactic planetary war. The dark vengence starter set gives you 48 plastic miniatures depicting the Dark Angels against the Chaos Space Marines. Theses figures come armed to the teeth with gruesome hi-tech weapons and clad in enormous suits of armor. A squad of bikers and a walking death machine armed with laser cannons and giant claws round out the armed forces.

The Light Horse Charge at Beersheba
"Then Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech's servants had seized… And he said, You will take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that they may be my witness that I have dug this well. Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because the two of them swore an oath there."
Genesis chapter 21 verses 25 -31

See also Photographs of Australian Light Horse going into action at Beersheba.
The village of BIR SABA lay on the northern edge of the Sinai Desert in a shallow saucer at the foot of the judean Hills, Beerhseba was protected by Tel El Saba, a 300 metre feature on the northern bank of the Wadi Saba 3 kilometres to the east. It was a great mound which had a commanding view of the surrounding plain. The Wadi ran across the south of the town from east to west.
The enemy was Turkey, Imperial Germany's eastern ally. They held the line, Gaza-Beersheba. At Beersheba were the 27th Division and Battalions from the 16th and 24th Divisions, supported by artillery. The enemy's defence extended from Tel El Saba on the eastern flank. Two lines of trenches were dug into the cliff face of the Tel. A series of inferior trenches extended along the Wadi; they were not protected by wire. These extended to a group of detached trenches on the south-west flank. The enemy had good zones of fire.
General Sir Edmund Allenby commanded the British Eastern Expeditionary Force of two corps.
Lt-Gen Sir Harry Chauvel commanded the Desert Mounted Corps. He had no misgivings about his troops; they had sheer quality, leadership and experience; many had been at Gallipoli. These men of the Light Horse were without peer.
Lt Gen. Sir Philip Chetwode commanded the British XX Corps. He had defined the Gaza – Beersheba line.
Chauvel's Desert Mounted Corps were to capture Beersheba.
Chauvel's orders were to straddle the Beersheba-Hebron Road at Sakati 8 kilometres north-east of Beersheba, capture Tel El Saba, then storm the town. The mission was to be executed on the first day of the battle.
He had two divisions, each of three brigades. The ANZAC Mounted Division (ANZACs) included the 1st and 2nd Australian Light Horse Brigades and the New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigade.
The Australian Mounted Division included the 3rd and 4th Austrlian Light Horse Brigades and the 5th (British) Yeomanry Brigade. In support were the Light Batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery.
The Battle of Beersheba was to be a three-phase operation supported by the British. The first phase was to be a night ride from wells at Asluj and Khalasa 20 kilometres to the south in the Sinai, to positions south and south-east of the town. In the second phase, the 2nd Australian Light Horse Brigade was to advance to Sakati and act as a cut-off force. The 1st Australian Light Horse and New Zealand Mounted Rifle Brigades were to capture Tel El Saba. Finally, with the road and Tel secure, the ANZAC's were to storm the town. This did not eventuate. This was the most significant factor in the Battle of Beersheba, forcing Chauvel to commit his reserve – the Australian Mounted Division. In a preliminary operation, the British Infantry of XX Corps were to secure positions to the south-west astride the Khalasa-Beersheba Road.
At Asluj and Khalasa the men of the Desert Mounted Corps watered; they carried three days rations. Despite great loads, the horses were touched with excitement. Smoking was forbidden and talking subdued. The bare hills of Sinai sounded with the beat of thousands of shod horses. They rode 30 kilometres through the night.
Positions at Beersheba
1800: Asluj and Khalasa were cleared.
0555: 100 British guns opened in support of the preliminary operation.
0700: The Desert Mounted Corps halted, and patrols were pushed forward. Beersheba with its mosque was clearly in view; it offered no prize in rations or quarters, but something more coveted were the ancient wells to water those parched men and their Waler mounts. A large pool could be seen shimmering in the Wadi; there had been a storm on the 27th.
0830: The British rushed forward and captured their objectives to the south-west and brought forward their guns.
0900: The ANZAC's were ready to seize the road and the Tel. The enemy was observed reinforcing the Tel.
0930: The 2nd Brigade moved into artillery formation, advanced through a Bedouin camp, and thundered to the Hebron Road Sakati without slackening. Turkish batteries fired, but formation and ground gave them protection. With this task accomplished, they remained in a Wadi for the day.
1000: The Somerset Battery opened up on Tel El Saba from 3000 metres to cover the ANZAC assault. The 3rd Australian Light Horse Regiment was ordered to attack from the south-east. A spirited gallop under heavy fire brought the 3rd to within 1500 metres of the enemy. They dismounted. The Auckland Regiment conformed to the north. The Inverness Battery gave covering fire to the Somersets as they galloped to within 1000 metres of the Tel. The ANZAC's were severely punished but they continued their advance, eventually bringing effective Hotchkiss fire onto the cliff. The prospect of the 3rd scaling the 200 metre cliff was not good, so they gave full opportunity to the Aucklanders.
1300: The 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment was ordered to support the 3rd. They advanced at the gallop, dismounted and rushed their horses back so quickly that the enemy though they had retreated. They fired on the horses; this enabled the 2nd to advance unharmed. Meanwhile, the 3rd had gained the bank. The Wellington's were thrown in to support the Aucklanders. The enemy was now under heavy fire.
1500: The New Zealanders rose and dashed up the slopes with the bayonet. The 3rd continued, but the Aucklanders were first in. Some Turks surrendered; others fled into the town. The 2nd and 3rd gave chase then fought off a counter-attack. At last the ANZAC's had secured the Hebron Road and Tel El Saba. Chauvel had not expected to lose as much time. He had already detached the 9th and 10th Regiments from the Australian Mounted Division in support of the ANZAC's.
1430: With the day on the wane, it was now neck or nothing; the time had come to commit the reserve. Chauvel issued decisive orders for the occupation of Beersheba. Brig. Grant of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade and Fitzgerald of the Yeomanry were at Headquarters; they pleaded for the honour of the charge. Put Grant straight at it was Chauvels terse order.
1630: The 4th and 12th Australian Light Horse Regiments drew up behind a ridge. From the crest, Beerhseba was in full view. The course lay down a long, slight slope which was bare of cover. Between them and the town lay the enemy defences. The 4th was on the right; the 12th was on the left. They rode with bayonets in hand. Each drew up on a squadron frontage. Every man knew that only a wild, desperate charge could seize Beerhseba before dark. They moved off at the trot, deploying at once into artillery formation, with 5 metres between horsemen. Almost at once the pace quickened to a gallop. Once direction was given, the lead squadrons pressed forward. The 11th Australian Light Horse Regiment and the Yeomanry followed at the trot in reserve. The Turks opened fire with shrapnel. Machine guns fired against the lead squadrons. The Royal Horse Artillery got their range and soon had them out of action. The Turkish riflemen fired, horses were hit, but the charge was not checked. The Lighthorsemen drove in their spurs; they rode for victory and they rode for Australia. The bewildered enemy failed to adjust their sights and soon their fire was passing harmlessly overhead. The 4th took the trenches; the enemy soon surrendered. The 12th rode through a gap and on into the town. Their was a bitter fight. Some enemy surrendered; others fled and were pursued into the Judean Hills. In less than an hour it was over; the enemy was finally beaten.
From his headquarters, Chauvel had watched the battle develop. He saw the New Zealanders swarming the Tel; on their right the 9th and 10th LH Regiment were trotting in pursuit under shrapnel. On the Wadi the 2nd and 3rd LH Regiments were pressing forward in their attempt to take the town from the east. The Royal Horse Artillery were firing in support. Then over the ridge rode the 4th and 12th . . . shrapnel . . . the signal to charge! Not for almost an hour did Chauvel learn that Beersheba had been won.
Then disaster. The 9th and 10th in pursuit were bombed by a lone German aircraft; they suffered heavy casualties. The Desert Mounted Corps watered at the wells of the patriarchs and in the pool. For days, the charge was the talk of the camps and messes.
The Australian Light Horse had galloped into history.
South Australians can be proud of the contribution of the 3rd and the 9th in the Battle of Beersheba.
A Squadron 3rd/9th South Australian Mounted Rifles began as the Reedbeds Cavalry in 1841 and is privileged to have inherited the honors, the history and the tradition of the Australian Light Horse.

Ninety-one people attended CALL's first business meeting of the year, September 23, 2010. The meeting, sponsored by Law Bulletin, was held at Lloyd's Chicago. The guest speaker was CALL member Deborah Ginsberg. She introduced CALL's entry into social media. CALL President Heidi Kuehl introduced new members Katelin Anderson, Loren Turner and Sarah Glassmeyer. Vice President/ President Elect Juli Jackson introduced and thanked Law Bulletin for their sponsorship of the meeting and LexisNexis for donating the gift cards.
Debbie Ginsberg, Educational Technology Librarian at Chicago-Kent, spoke about incorporating social media into CALL. Debbie explained how Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn can be used not just for personal reasons, but by organizations to market to potential members, to keep current members informed, and to provide additional member services. Debbie also introduced CALL's social media plan.
CALL now has a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/CALLChicago) which we will use to post upcoming events and other information about CALL. Pages differ from typical Facebook profiles in that they are specifically designed for public entities like businesses, celebrities, educational institutions, and organizations like CALL. Facebook users click the "Like" button on Pages to receive updates. Note that "liking" a page doesn't mean that the page owners can see any personal information about the user. CALL already has over 40 "likes," but be sure to stop by and click the "like" button if you haven't yet had a chance.
Updates to CALL's Facebook page will automatically also be posted to Twitter (http://twitter.com/callchicago). For those not familiar with Twitter, it is a site where users can post short status updates of 140 characters or less. Typical status updates on Twitter include interesting links, breaking news, and information from libraries and other organizations. Other Twitter users then choose to "follow" their favorite Twitterers and track these updates on the web or using a special desktop program like TweetDeck. By posting our Facebook status updates to Twitter, members and others who are on Twitter can follow CALL there as well.
Finally, CALL has formed a LinkedIn group. LinkedIn is a social network used to connect professionals. On LinkedIn, users post online resumes describing their current and past positions, their education, and professional accomplishments. Users then "connect" to other LinkedIn users, forming a virtual professional network. LinkedIn also lets users connect as "Groups." Using Groups, users who are who are not directly connected but share a particular interest (like libraries) or characteristic (like alumni of a school) can start discussions, post job openings, and contribute other information. CALL now has its own LinkedIn group, which members can join (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3417602).
The slides from this presentation are available at: http://bit.ly/callsnpresentation.
Three committees made announcements. Community Service thanked everyone for their generous donations of school supplies for the Chicago Public Schools' Educational Support for Students in Temporary Living Situations, monetary donations for the Anti-Cruelty Society, and pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. The Continuing Education Committee announced plans for a library tour of the Cook County Law Library. Please watch for upcoming announcements with all the details. Also, the Committee will have an Institute Day in May 2011. Public Relations announced the next CALL-Up event being held October 12, 2010 at the Elephant and Castle located at State and Lake. President Kuehl announced the next CALL Business Meeting to be held November 17, 2010 at Maggiano's. The door prize drawing followed and the meeting adjourned about 1:10 pm.
Again, thank you to Law Bulletin for sponsoring the meeting and LexisNexis for donating the gift cards.

William Shakespeare's legacy
South Asians got rid of the British but kept Shakespeare
Md. Ziaul Haque
At present, it is widely time-honoured that William Shakespeare was an esteemed person of the dramatic arts. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, he wrote plays and acted in a few. However, people started recognising his dramatic mastermind particularly in the 19th century:
"In the 19th Century, Shakespeare became an important emblem of national pride, used to spread the influence of British imperial power.
Taught in schools across the Empire, Shakespeare's work helped to imbue a sense of cultural patriotism in the Empire's subjects. In 1841 Thomas Carlyle described him as a "real, marketable, tangibly useful possession." Post-colonial literary critics have argued this was a way the British Empire tried to subordinate the cultures of the countries it occupied. Shakespeare continues to be exported, adapted and translated, across the world"
If the colleagues of Shakespeare did not collect his plays into the 'First Folio' of 1623, "…around half of his plays, including – amazingly - Macbeth, Julius Caesar and The Tempest would have been lost" (Shakespeare's Globe, n.d.). "Today, his plays are highly popular and constantly studied and reinterpreted in performances with diverse cultural and political contexts. The genius of Shakespeare's characters and plots are that they present real human beings in a wide range of emotions and conflicts that transcend their origins in Elizabethan England" (William Shakespeare Biography, n.d.). "Theatre's artistic status in literature had improved by the time of Shakespeare's death, and he was mourned as a brilliant writer by his peers. But no one could have known that this popular artist, writing for a local audience in a single city, would grow in reach and influence over four hundred years to become arguably the most celebrated writer of all time." (Shakespeare's Globe, n.d.).
Compliments and respect for William Shakespeare and his work reached the peak at the starting of the Romantic period of the early 1800s, continuing through the Victorian period. His works were rediscovered and adopted later in the 20th century by the new movements in scholarship and performance.
"Although William Shakespeare was appreciated as a distinguished playwright and poet during his lifetime, it was not until the 19th century that the name of William Shakespeare received the status he holds now. While the Romantics considered Shakespeare to be a genius, the Victorians on the other hand, admired him to the extent of worship. The commencement of the 20th century marked an era of Shakespeare's plays being excessively adapted to different mediums of performing arts, studied, rediscovered and translated into many languages all over the world. Shakespeare remains the only writer whose every line has been profoundly studied and interpreted by historians, scholars and students. The evergreen works of William Shakespeare have truly left a deep and lasting effect on world literature, theatre and cinema."
In fact, the legacy of Shakespeare starts in the words. He wrote so delightfully, dramatically and plainly. He invented many new words and phrases and enriched the English language. Many of his coined words and phrases we still use at present. "He has given us many of the words we speak, even the thoughts we think. Shakespeare's gift for a well-turned phrase is without parallel and he is frequently quoted even by persons who have never seen or read his plays."
A lot of his Shakespeare's plays have stood the test of time. Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear and Titus Andronicus are several of the most well-known plays of all time and are also a few of the most forceful title characters from any play. Hamlet brilliantly represents both real and artificial madness (from irresistible sadness to furious anger). The play explores the subject matters of deceitfulness, vengeance, incest, and ethical dishonesty; it is one of the most persuasive and well-formed plays of all time.
"To be, or not to be: that is
the question:
Whether 't is nobler in the
mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against
a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?" (Shakespeare, 1973, p. 828)
The madness of Hamlet and nearly modern illusions in A Midsummer Night's Dream are exciting the spectators even now and still raise questions that will never be replied certainly. The tender humour of Cymbeline and the bounce and radiance of Twelfth Night are fascinating. It is true that Shakespeare's histories are not constantly viewed as perfect but they surely provide the audiences with some observation into a public sensitivity of an age in time, a time with no television, cameras etc. In short, his plays work as a guide to the awareness of the people. "His creations show that his character development and need to entertain came foremost and that is one of the key reasons his works are so important today"
"Pleasure and action make the hours seem short."
Shakespeare's plays teach politeness, courteousness, benignity, kindness and humbleness that are universal and everlasting. His works have entertained the readers and viewers for about four centuries. However, Shakespeare appeared to this part (Asia) of the world with the emergence of the British colonialism. Interestingly, the ruled started loving and relating to Shakespeare more than the rulers! 'British Bengal was a famous place for Shakespeare studies" (Biswas, 2012). At present, Shakespeare is taught in the colleges and universities in Bangladesh, India and many other Asian countries.
It deserves to be mentioned that Michael Madhusudan Dutt, (the great poet and the father of Bangla blank verse) was a passionate follower of Shakespeare. At the last part of his life, he quoted recurrently from Macbeth, "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow/Creeps in this petty pace from day to day/To the last syllable of recorded time". (Shakespeare, 1973, p. 843)
Besides, Bankimchandra Chatterjee would use quotations from the Bard as the headings of the chapters. Moreover, Vidyasagar (the Sanskrit scholar) had an insightful knowledge about Shakespeare's genius; he translated The Comedy of Errors into Bangla and the title was, Bhrantibilas. The Nobel laureate, "Rabindranath Tagore's sonnet-34 included in Balaka is a fine tribute paid by one great poet to another" (Rana, 2010).
The Indians abandoned the British but kept Shakespeare. Even the freedom-fighters paid due respect to Shakespeare whose writings teach not to seize the rights of another. For example, in Shakespeare's The Tempest, Caliban is the ruled who mocks at the ruler in such a way that he appears as the representative of the colonized people: "You taught me language; and my profit on'tIs, I know how to curse.
In the middle of 20th century, Alfred Hart, who was a significant authority on Shakespeare's vocabulary at that time, wrote that "…Shakespeare is…"credited by the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary with being the first user of about 3,200 words"" (Battistella, 2016). "Words like dishearten, divest, addiction, motionless, leapfrog - and phrases like "once more unto the breach", "band of brothers" and "heart of gold" – have all passed into our language today with no need to reference their original context. Shakespeare also pioneered innovative use of grammatical form and structure - including verse without rhymes, superlatives and the connecting of existing words to make new words, like bloodstained - while the pre-eminence of his plays also did much to standardise spelling and grammar" (
The words, plots and characters of Shakespeare have been inspiring the culture and society all around the world. When Nelson Mandela was a prisoner on Robben Island, he cherished a quotation from Julius Caesar, "Cowards die many times before their deaths/The valiant never taste of death but once" (Shakespeare, 1973, p. 806). "While Kate Tempest's poem "My Shakespeare" captures the eternal presence of Shakespeare when she wrote that Shakespeare "…is in every lover who ever stood alone beneath a window…every jealous whispered word and every ghost that will not rest." Shakespeare's influence is everywhere, from Dickens and Goethe to Tchaikovsky, Verdi and Brahms; from West Side Story to the Hamlet-inspired title of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" – the longest-running theatre production in London's West End today…"

At present, it is widely time-honoured that William Shakespeare was an esteemed person of the dramatic arts. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, he wrote plays and acted in a few. However, people started recognising his dramatic mastermind particularly in the 19th century: In the 19th Century, Shakespeare became an important emblem of national pride, used to spread the influence of British imperial power. Taught in schools across the Empire, Shakespeares work helped to imbue a sense of cultural patriotism in the Empires subjects. In 1841 Thomas Carlyle described him as a real, marketable, tangibly useful possession. Post-colonial literary critics have argued this was a way the British Empire tried to subordinate the cultures of the countries it occupied. Shakespeare continues to be exported, adapted and translated, across the world If the colleagues of Shakespeare did not collect his plays into the First Folio of 1623, around half of his plays, including amazingly - Macbeth, Julius Caesar and The Tempest would have been lost (Shakespeares Globe, n.d.). Today, his plays are highly popular and constantly studied and reinterpreted in performances with diverse cultural and political contexts. The genius of Shakespeares characters and plots are that they present real human beings in a wide range of emotions and conflicts that transcend their origins in Elizabethan England (William Shakespeare Biography, n.d.). Theatres artistic status in literature had improved by the time of Shakespeares death, and he was mourned as a brilliant writer by his peers. But no one could have known that this popular artist, writing for a local audience in a single city, would grow in reach and influence over four hundred years to become arguably the most celebrated writer of all time.

I'm glad we can help Laura! As for the Fantasmic! "ticket" you are partially correct. Mama Melrose is one of three restaurants at Disney's Hollywood Studios that participates in the Fantasmic! dining package. To take advantage of this opportunity though, you need to make a special reservation for the package, not just the meal. Guests who take part in the Fantasmic! dinner package receive a meal at either Mama Melrose, Hollywood & Vine, or the Hollywood Brown Derby. After the meal, they are given tickets that will grant them access to a reserved seating area in the Fantasmic! ampitheater. The upside to this is that you won't have to wait in line for hours to see the show. Instead, you can arrive no less than 30 minutes prior to showtime and find a seat in the reserved seating section.
This package does have limited availability. Because your travel dates are quickly approaching, chances are that the Fantasmic! dinner package is sold out. Of course, it never hurts to try. To check for availability and make reservations, call 407-WDW-DINE. Good Luck!

Q: Python - Check network map I'm looking for some help on logic, the code is not very Pythonic I'm still learning. We map the Z: drive to different locations all the time. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish
1: Check for an old map on Z: say \192.168.1.100\old
2: Map the new location to Z: say \192.168.1.200\new
3: Make sure the new Z: mapping exists and is still connected
4: If it gets disconnected or unmapped reconnect it and log it
90% of the code works, if I run it as is, it unmaps the old drive and maps the new drive but the name of the old drive stays the same even though it's mapped to the new location and I can browse it. The other problem is I only want to run checkOldDrive one time and just let checkDrive run. Any advice is appreciated.

A: I've put together a script based on the one you laid out which I believe accomplishes what you have described.
I've tried to do it in a way that's both Pythonic and follows good programming principles.
In particular, I've done the following:

*

*modularize much of the functionality into reusable functions

*avoided repetition as much as possible. I did not factor out the hard-coded 'Z:' drive. I leave that to you as an exercise (as you see fit).

*factored the logging definition into one location (so the format, etc are consistent and not repeated). The logging module made this easy.

*moved all code out of the top level scope (except for some global constants). This allows the script to be run directly or imported by another script as a module.

*Added some documentation strings to help document what each function does.

*Kept each function short an succinct - so it can be read more easily on a single screen and in an isolated context.

Surely, there is still room for some improvement, but I have tested this script and it is functional. It should provide some good lessons while also helping you accomplish your task. Enjoy.

Aston Martin Records Highest-ever Price Paid for a British Car!
TOPICS:Aston MartinAuctionNurburgringPriceRacingRM Sotheby's Monterey
Written by: John Elwin
When the hammer finally came down following frenzied bidding at RM Sotheby's Monterey sale on 18 August a new record high was set for a British car, for a telephone bidder paid $22,550,000 for a 1956 Aston Martin DBR1/1. That tops the previous record of $21,800,000 paid for a 1955 Jaguar D-Type at the corresponding sale just one year ago.
The car in question is chassis number one of just five examples built and comes with an impressive racing history that includes winning the gruelling Nurburgring 1000km race in 1959, with Stirling Moss and JackFairman driving.
The DBR1 was designed by Ted Cutting, primarily to compete at Le Mans in 1956, when new regulations were brought in following the tragic accident that overshadowed the previous years' race.
However, despite successes elsewhere, it took until 1959 before an Aston Martin DBR1 tasted victory at Le Mans when Carroll Shelby/Roy Salvadori and Maurice Trintignant/Paul Frere scored a memorable one-two finish for the team from Feltham. Moss played a part too; never a fan of endurance races, his mission was to act as the hare, setting a blistering pace from the start, luring the opposition into chasing him and inevitably breaking, leaving the way clear for an Aston one-two.
The drama didn't end at Le Mans, for Moss went on to win the Goodwood Nine Hours, a race made famous when Moss's race-leading car caught fire during a refuelling stop. He was switched to the Shelby/Fairman car,going on to win the race and ultimately assist Aston Martin to the Constructor's Championship. Ironically, after three years of peseverance with the DBR1, Aston Martin had originally planned only to compete at Le Mans in 1959!
Also knocked-down to a new owner at Monterey was an ex BMS Scuderia Italia DBR9 (chassis #09) that was raced during the 2006 and 2007 seasons, its best results being third place finishes at Silverstone and Brno in 2006, and at Oschersleben in 2007. It twice raced at Le Mans, Babini/Gollin/Pescatori retiring in 2006, but the following year Babini/Davies/Malucelli came home in 11th place overall. However, the cars' racing career ended ingloriously at the Spa 24 Hours in July 2007. After crashing heavily during pre-event practice, it was rebuilt only to be comprehensively crashed again during the early hours of the race. The chassis was a right-off, but the car was subsequently rebuilt and remained in team owner GuiseppeLucchini's private collection, until now. The DR9/9 sold at RM Sotheby's for a whopping $616,000, well beyond the pre-sale estimate of $275,000 – $325,000. That should go some way towards the repair bill!
